Abstract

This article presents the results of non-isothermal analysis, under static air and dynamic argon atmospheres, of tetrabutyl ammonium perchlorate (TBAP), alone and in the presence of MnO 2 as a thermal catalyst. Thermogastitrimetry and mass spectrometry were used to identify some of the gaseous products. The effects of the four butyl groups on the thermally excited ammonium nitrogen atom are discussed. The thermal stabilities of TBAP and the parent molecule, ammonium perchlorate, are compared. The effects of using different sample weights, atmospheres and crucible materials were tested.
